. What's Atelier House? It's a special space for my own journal and my
favorite story "Mimi o sumaseba" (aka: Whisper of the Heart)
. "Mimi o sumaseba" is a Ghibli movie animation. The space for this movie is a fan space, no
intention
of intriguing any copyrights

I went to Hidetoshi Nakata official site just now - first since last
August probably. It's such a nice official site, isn't it? If
you've ever been there, you'll find out that no fans or unofficial
site needed. 'Cause all the things that fans ever wanted is there!
Maybe the only thing you can't find is rumor. (^^) Yeah, of
course!

Why am I saying this? Well, I'm just reconsidering why
I made a fansite of the FIELD OF VIEW at the first place. As far as
I remembered, it was a long winding road that took me to tFOV - no
English site, no news in any language I understood, no lyrics in
Romaji, no pictures!! Just like yesterday dream about the cafe, it
happened with FOV first; if there is no site of FOV where I can get
what I need, then
I'll make one. A little bit selfish? I'll think about it. I'll think
about it.

BGM special 02 - Xenogears theme:
01. Knight of Fire 02. My Village is Number One 03. Invasion
04. June Mermaid 05. Bonds of Sea and Fire 06. Singing of the Gentle Wind
07. The treasure which cannot be stolen
Extra: Sailing to the World, demo version - a thrilling 36
seconds.
Special Xenogears or special Yasunori Mitsuda again? (^^) My favorite?
Among all of the Xenogears theme, those 7 are my favorite. But most of all, of
course "Knight of Fire"!!! Theme for battle with bosses! 'Cause
to me, Xenogears theme is this! [*Liat
deh judul track 02; jayuz banget ngga sih tu judul. Tapi KEREN, bowz!
Agak2 inget Harvest Moon, sih.*]
I MISS BART SO MUCH!! And also his WILD SMILE (status attack; def
down). Probably, a wild smile is like
Totoro's smile; ^_____^? [*Ndy, aku pinjem
senyum Totoro-mu, ya*] Well, this kind of smile surely will make your defense down!!

Feb 16, Sunday night BGM: Rainy day FIELD OF VIEW. Raining all day long.
And I caught a cold. "Rainy day" - definitely one of my
favorite. 'Cause it brought a sweet imagination. (^^)
I imagined a cafe; it mainly served coffee (the coffee should be
PERFECT - smelled and tasted perfect), it should be located right beside the walking section of the street -
no parking lot (I HATE to see parking lot from the window), and it
performed a live band. It was raining outside, people with/without
umbrella were walking fast to warm their body, a cup of hot coffee
was on my table (perhaps the partner was a brownies), and the live
band was performing "Rainy day" (plus "Wake up!"
or "Yume mitsuzukete ima mo" would've been nice).
I'll search the whole world to find such a place. If I can't find it... I'll make
one! (^^; - d.r.e.a.m.e.r !!)

I was going to enter its BBS, actually. But it seemed to be closed. I missed my friends; setuna and hal. How are you??
HONTOU NI GOMENNASAI!!

BGM track:
01. Long Long Ago 20th Century, Kamen Rider Black ending
theme. I have an unforgettable memory with this song. Kamen Rider
Black series were broadcasted every Sunday morning - (12 years ago?). At
the same time, I had a cram session at school. Because I loved this
song VERY MUCH, I was willing to be late and to sneak into the class
just to listen to this song! (^^;)
02. Sailing to the World Yasunori Mitsuda, demo version. I
WANT this song full version!!
03. Opening Tsugunai theme, Yasunori Mitsuda.
04. Tsugunai Yasunori Mitsuda.
05. Village Tsugunai theme, Yasunori Mitsuda.
06. Legend Tsugunai theme, Yasunori Mitsuda.
It's a special day, so the BGM list is special too!!

(BGM: Finally!! Strawberry Fields Forever. Yes, the correct title
is like this)

Fuih! I did my demo today - I demonstrated a website. It was the first time I had to brought my own CPU, by myself.
My friend helped me with my other stuff, but the CPU was my part (kinda
heavy, nee). It was the first time
I had to plug monitor, keyboard, and mouse by myself (yeah, I think
among all of my friends, I was the only one who did it for the first
time) - not difficult, I was surprised. Computer is such a
nice thing; it has a great poka yoke, so it was just like
everybody said "plug and play". But I had a trouble to unplug and plug the printer!
Oh, it was annoying!!

The demo itself? Yeah, there're lots I need to do to improve. (^^) My final presentation
will be on March... [*doain, yah...!!*]
I wonder if I have to do another demo before that? Oh, no!!

(BGM: none. But I wish I were listening to "Melody" and "Strawberry
Fields")

I miss FOV a lot on the day of my previous entry. I miss their song a lot.
I went to their official site - thought that it will never be changed anymore.
But it's been changed! It's the biggest picture of FOV ever shown in their site!
Check it out!
But also... the saddest picture of them. They're the one who
asked for not crying, but they're the one who showed such an
expression!

I was hoping that I could hear "Melody" sample, but I don't know what's wrong - it's
been happening many times - it could not be listened. But I have a new song! I don't know
the title - but I think it's "Kimi no koe ga kikitakute". (The net-cafe's PCs
rarely
got Japanese Text Support installed. And even though I ask it to
be installed, next time I go there they will be customized. So... I used a translator to translate
a Japanese site.) Back to the song, it's very very surprising!! I never thought that
FOV had ever released a song like that!! (guess my knowledge of FOV
is still limited?)
C O O L ! ! Is it Abe-san on the piano?

BTW, I'm going to take a TOEFL test on Tuesday 18th. I'm very nervous. It'll be my first TOEFL test.
I remember when I took my first Nihongo Noryoku Shiken last December - I was desperately
unconfident among hundreds of people who took the same test.
And I was totally blank at listening section! (sigh) [*makanya gue nulis situs sama diary gue pake bahasa Inggris
buat latihan... walo kaya'nya sih ngga maju-maju deh. Tapi daripada
ngga pernah dipake? Pokoknya latihan teruus...!!*]

{BGM: Kimi no koe ga kikitakute FIELD OF VIEW. Iroiro
omoi ukabu keredo, sukoshi nemurou... In my opinion, this kind of song can be
everlasting. You should listen to the interlude!)

I finally found it! The movie I've always wanted to see "Mimi o
sumaseba". The background story is a love story between Seiji Amasawa and Shizuku Tsukishima.
The story itself is about finding one thing you want to do.
It's been always a classic question. Killua (Hunter x Hunter) is also a character who ask it.

[What am I going to do to be confidently supporting the one I love? How can I whole-heartedly say
"gambatte" to someone who's far better than me? What should I
do to catch him up?] I think they're points of the movie. And
also [finding things you want to do then holding onto
it is a time consuming activity, will you give it a shot anyway? What if in
the end you find it that you're not good at things you believed you're good at? Or should we just
playing it safe, simply by living day by day?]

Well, I'll have a page about it anyway (but it won't be so soon, my
schedule is after March), so I'll hold my words.

(BGM: Country Road; there are 2 "Country Road" in this
movie and they're opposite in meaning. I like Shizuku's version. Kaeritai,
kaerenai, sayonara country road...)
